Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Hope it's ok if I vent to..

So I guess I'm new to posting on the boards although I've been keeping myself updated on everyone else's posts for quite sometime...however, I did come across these posts--"Pike's Peak" which I'd really like to be a part of..so I hope it's ok if I just vent as well...I really need to...

So here it goes:
lately I've been dealing with alot of crap from everyone, especially my family because of the weight I've lost since the start of IBS...and I'm sure a ton of other people have said this, but I'm truly starting to believe that no one gets it because if one more person says I look anorexic I think I may just flip!

So here's my point:
Doesn't anyone understand that I'd love to just sit down and eat a normal cupcake with REAL frosting or a boston cream donut from dunkin donuts with a hot cup of french vanilla coffee LIKE I USED TO! BUT I CAN'T!! I JUST CANT!! and how is my weight anyone else's concern but MY OWN! especially the friends of my family memebers who I'VE NEVER EVEN MET (i might add) WHO THINK THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO TELL MY FAMILY THAT I LOOK ANOREXIC BECAUSE I DONT!! I'm tied of worrying whether or not their will be traffic everytime I drive that might prevent me from using the bathroom if I need it! I'M EXAHUSTED FROM PEOPLE CONSTANTLY ASKING "CAN YOU EAT THIS?"...."CAN YOU EAT THIS?"..."NO?"...."WELL WHAT ABOUT THIS?" NO! NO!! NO!!!...I CAN'T EAT ANY OF THAT SO STOP ASKING!! I'm sick and tired, and angry and just sad that I'll possibly never be able to enjoy that REAL Chocolate chip cookie or slice of cheesecake, but will instead have to settle for my rice cakes with reduced-fat peanut butter....and you know I would be perfectly fine with my rice cakes except for the fact that everyone keeps shoving in my face the foods I CAN'T EAT AND THEN PROCEEDING TO CALL ME ANOREXIC!!

I hope it's ok I joined in on this venting circle..thanks for listening
